Judge also warned he could name independent prosecutor if White House stonewalled contempt proceedings

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that there was probable cause to hold Trump officials in criminal contempt for violating his temporary injunction that barred the use of the Alien Enemies Act wartime power to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.

In a scathing 46-page opinion, James Boasberg, the chief US district judge for Washington, wrote that senior Trump officials could either return the people who were supposed to have been protected by his injunction, or face contempt proceedings.

The judge also warned that if the administration tried to stonewall his contempt proceedings or instructed the justice department to decline to file contempt charges against the most responsible officials, he would appoint an independent prosecutor himself.

Do tell. How would you have prevented all this from happening?

Well I certainly wouldn't have stuck my head in the sand and ignored it. Perhaps organize to start.

You could have started years ago when your fair leader sent his Nazi goons into your democratic institutions to shut them down and perhaps avoided his reelection by putting him in...oh I don't know...fucking, prison!

There were many reasons well before that...bush Jr ...weapons of mass distraction and all that bullshit as a single example.

You could have rioted when the supreme Court gave unlimited dictatorial power to your president prior to the election and shut down the election completely until something was done about it.

You also could have rioted when a 34 time convicted felon and known grifter was permitted to even run in the election A SECOND TIME.

You could be on general strike for the past month or more all refusing to work and supporting your neighbors so they don't have to either. Shutting down your economy and collapsing the financial system that props up heir drumphkin and his cronies. But you'd probably have to associate with people you don't know and your government has been telling you not to trust your entire life.

More options? There are many yet here we are.

Meet your neighbors. Organize. Resist. And quit blaming other people for your problems.
